The Project

CICDA strives to improve the academic lives of Arts students at Laurier. The Faculty Grants allow departments within the Faculty of Arts to receive additional funding to provide workshops, conferences and purchase extra equipment to enhance student’s learning experience.
This year CICDA will be awarding two Faculty Grants in both the Fall and Winter Terms. Each grant is worth $2,500.00.
